00:57So, we sweep all the overall team categories as the top team in long trail, short trail, both men and women,
01:05and then the mountain classics in U23, and 17 medals, 5 of which were gold.

01:20In the trail, it involves all your muscle groups.
01:25Maybe you're just hairy, you won't get tired.
01:29So, it involves all your muscle groups.
01:32So, you really need your physical fitness.
01:35You're well prepared for that.
01:39But the good thing is, in the downhill, you use different muscle groups.
01:48When it comes to the uphill, it's different.
01:51So, your body doesn't get too tired.
